QTD: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.” -Theodore Roosevelt

In this episode Matt DiMauro and Will Diesel ask a simple but honest question: would we have this conversation if no one was listening?

They talk about relationships, marriage, and how the people around us shape who we become. From loving who you are with someone to the idea of becoming one, they reflect on what actually makes something last.

They also explore the small things that matter more than we think, including habits, language, and discipline, and why avoiding the wrong things might be just as important as doing the right ones.
